    Considering you can get a 970 every other week for around 250ish, probably not $300 for the listing, but who knows. Some people are dumb.

    Kal is wrong about beating SLI 980ti, Nvidia said SLI 980s.

    Even without actual fps numbers, looking at the raw specs says alot. The major factor for these cards imo is the price and relatively moderate power draw. 600 bucks for Titan X level performance (which will widen even further as driver optimizations come) with only a 180 watt TDP? That shit cray

    Yes they are. I just sold a XFX 7870 on Amazon for $149.99.

    Oh, my bad! Had read that wrong. I'm of course going to wait for real benchmarks, but a pretty strong I7-6700k build using the $600 1080 price point could be had for around $1500. Not sure if I really want to attempt to sell my entire build (I5-4690k) or just the gpus. Can't wait to see the benchmarks!

    I guess you don't know ebay! 970s still go for 300 with the right listing, box manuals and cables.

    Take it with a grain of salt, there aren't suppose to be benchmark posting of the card yet but someone possibly breached the embargo anyway. Yes the game is CPU heavy and doesn't really reflect well on GPUs and there aren't proper drivers out for the card yet if this is real but its still rather upsetting that it couldn't push higher on DX12.

    DX 12 performance is pretty shitty considering. Dunno Wtf Nvidia's issue with Async compute is, they just can't get it to work right.

    None. As long as it's the same model (960 2gb) it's fine. I run XFX and Asus 390x in crossfire. And I don't need a bridge!

    I thought you had to have the bridge, when using two monitors do you connect one to one card and the other to the second or do you connect both to one card.

    Recent AMD cards don't need a bridge anymore assuming the mobo supports it.

    So a friend of mine is looking to build a PC and I was hoping you guys could help with picking parts.
    She doesn't need anything fancy since she will probably just play games like The Sims 3 and maybe an MMO like WoW or SWTOR.
    I was hoping to keep the price between $600-$800. Cheap parts that work good I guess. Maybe last generation parts?
    If you could provide maybe a PCpartpicker list of items as I'm not too sure when she will be ordering the parts it would be nice to have a list of parts to look for/show her.

    It won't set the world on fire, doesn't include OS and monitor as you didn't specify, but it would meet all those requirements. You could probably also dump the video card, use the onbard intel graphics and get an SSD as a boot drive as well for about the same cost as the graphics card.

    I'd recommend keeping the graphics card and still adding an SSD to boot from, honestly. The integrated graphics, while better than they've ever been, are still really sub-par for gaming.

    I'm also still an advocate for going Skylake/1151 over Haswell/1150 at this point. The price premium is slight, if it exists at all, and you're more future-proof.

    That's an excellent price. I don't see her using it enough to warrant spending anymore. If I thought she would I would for sure add an SSD at this price.

    Thanks guys.

    Hey, guys. I know the new cards just came out/were announced, but I'm curious if anyone knows whether the 1080 is compatible with my motherboard. It's an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. K30AD_M31AD_M51AD (SOCKET 1150). Here are the rest of the specs, in case it matters:

    CPU
    Intel Core i7 4770S @ 3.10GHz
    Haswell 22nm Technology
    RAM
    12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz
    Motherboard
    ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. K30AD_M31AD_M51AD (SOCKET 1150)
    Graphics
    3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (192-bit) (ASUStek Computer Inc)

    I'm still pretty new when it comes to PC and this will be my first time messing with the inside of one. It was a prebuilt PC, so I already know that I'll most likely have to replace the PSU.

    Yes it will work in that board.

    How do you have 12GB dual-channel memory? 6x 2GB modules?

    I'd probably get at least a 650W PSU. You could get by with a little less but it's good to have a little headroom.

    2x 2GB + 2x 4GB added later is my guess.
